Hi guys,

I know I just registered here, and the main reason is to tell you guys my father is selling his baby. *He retired and just bought a 26' Fortier *;D

I hope it's OK that I list this here, I know some people get bent out of shape about guys registering to sell stuff on some of the other sites *::), but I want to be able to offer it here first!

Many of you may have seen me on other sites, I know I have messaged with several members from here on other sites *:)

Anyway, my father bought this boat in 1982, and it had a 200 Black Max on it. *The motor blew the powerhead off the north tip of Jamestown in '84, and my father put on a brand new '83 leftover, also a 200 Black Max.

This boat has had everything from 1300# of scup/seabass caught off Martha's Vineyard to a 501# GBFT caught off Noman's, to 400+# of Tautog....etc etc.....

You guys know what these are capable of! *This one's been 60 miles offshore.

Anyway, 2 years ago, due to an injury, my father winterized it and hasn't used it since. *Now he is able to boat again and has bought a boat he has always wanted to upgrade to.

I towed it to my house this past weekend to get her cleaned up and running while he is vacationing in CA for a couple weeks. *I charged the batteries, put the muffs on, and fired her over. *Smoked out the neighborhood blowing out the fogging oil *;D but she fired right over and runs beautiful as always!!! *(He has always used extra oil all the time and always Quicksilver, never any cheap chit).

I have yet to clean her up and take a few pics, and go thru what he has for electronics and any equipment and also to come up with a price.

She will need transom work soon. *Though he was still using her 2 years ago, the transom needs attention. *He did already do the gas tank maybe 10 years ago or so. *Other than the transom, the hull is in great shape, and the floor seems solid! *This was strictly a trailered boat, never moored or slipped.

The EZ-Loader Roller Trailer has been all rebuilt except for the main rails. *The rear sections of the rails were getting bad and we welded very heavy angle and plates and basically rebuilt the tail section. *Crossbars, axle, etc were all replaced. *Trailer has Powerwinch.

Center Console has a bimini enclosure, plastic is in good shape, has "hard" curved plastic front window with the soft side windows.

I'll post up pics, price, list of equip., etc ASAP, but for now, here's a recap:

- *1977 Wellcraft V-20 Center Console
- *1983 Mercury Black Max 200 (installed new in '84)
- *Bimini enclosure on CC
- *EZ Loader Roller Trailer w/Powerwinch

Again, I hope this ad is OK.......

BTW I love the History and Gallery sections on this site......I love looking at the old brochures, just like the old brochures on the Formula site! * 8) *You guys have some VERY PRETTY V-20's here! *I've always loved this boat!

When I pulled in the driveway with it, my wife said "You know, I forgot how good looking that boat is!" *She was more referring to the style than how clean it ISN'T right now lol...been under the cover the last 2 years LOL......but she's right, these are such pretty hulls! :)
